IIRC,
the 2000 has a slip joint in the shaft.
Are the u-joint "timed-aligned" correctly.
The "crosses" must be in the same location.

Hey gang,

was planning on putting the engine in this weekend in the '68 2000 but then
realized I'm missing a some parts. If you remember, I got this car in parts
and just figured out a the vital missing pieces now.

I need:

The plate that is between the engine and tranny (I have 3 for a 240z, sure
wish those were interchangable)
Also the fork, throwout bearing and sleeve, everything but the slave itself.

Anyone?

thanks

  I had the engine trans out of my 70 SRL and noticed the trans mount 
was in dire need of replacement.  I used the Prothane mount as it seemed 
the closest to the stock thickness.  It was a fairly painless 
swap....but now I have this vibration that starts to be noticeable at 
about 40 MPH - it gets smoother as speed goes up but it is still 
noticeable....does not change with the clutch in or the trans out of 
gear and coasting.  It is very apparent for in the 40-55 MPH range.  My 
first reaction was to replace the u-joints, absolutely no change.  So I 
am now wondering if anyone has a stock 5-speed trans mount they could 
measure for thickness?   Mine was so far gone I could not salvage the 
pieces.....!  Or could this be a drive shaft balance problem?
